Job Description SummaryAs a member of the Process Industrialization team, you will lead the definition, development, industrialization, and governance of advanced CNC probing and on-machine metrology solutions that improve manufacturing capability, process consistency, and product quality across the assigned manufacturing area. This role serves as a senior technical resource responsible for advancing best practices, strengthening process control, and driving sustainable process
improvements in production.
You will be responsible for leading robust probing and machine-integrated metrology strategies across CNC platforms to reduce setup variation, improve in-process verification, and enable more capable and repeatable manufacturing processes for critical components.
If you know how to turn CNC probing and measurement technology into practical, production ready solutions and lead adoption of those solutions at scale, we want you.
We are seeking a hands-on, experienced CNC Metrology & Probing Integration Specialist to lead the development, implementation, validation, standardization, and sustainment of on-machine probing applications in a production environment.
This role combines CNC programming, control logic, in-process measurement strategy, hardware integration, process validation, cross-functional problem solving, and technical leadership, all while operating within our SQDC (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost) values. You will work in a multidisciplinary environment, partnering across manufacturing, quality, operations, and engineering teams to deliver scalable, sustainable process improvements.
Job DescriptionWhat you'll doYour main mission will be to lead the development, industrialization, and governance of CNC probing and on-machine metrology solutions that support quality, productivity, and manufacturing capability improvements across the assigned manufacturing area.
- Lead the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of probing routines for part setup, work offset setting, part alignment, in-process feature verification, and tool checking across CNC platforms used in production.
- Own and govern machine-level probing logic, macros, and standardized routines that improve consistency, reduce setup dependency, and strengthen process control.
- Define and expand closed-loop machining applications using probing data to update work offsets, coordinate alignment, and tool wear offsets where appropriate.
- Develop and approve probing strategies for complex features, including multi-axis and non-orthogonal geometries, based on product requirements, process capability, and machine constraints.
- Provide technical leadership for installation, calibration, troubleshooting, sustainment, and performance optimization of spindle probes, tool setters, and related machine integrated metrology hardware.
- Establish and maintain standard methods, programming practices, recovery procedures, validation requirements, and best practices for probing applications across the manufacturing area.
- Translate drawing requirements, GD&T, and critical product characteristics into robust on-machine measurement strategies that support process capability and product conformity.
- Partner with quality and manufacturing teams to define validation approaches for on machine measurement performance, including repeatability studies, data correlation, bias assessment, and process verification activities.
- Lead investigation of probing-related failures, instability, and process variation using structured root-cause analysis and implementation of corrective and preventive actions.
- Drive creation and governance of work instructions, setup documentation, validation records, control plans, training materials, and other process documentation required to sustain standardized probing applications.
- Serve as the technical subject matter expert for CNC probing and machine-integrated metrology, mentoring programmers, engineers, and operators in standardized methods, troubleshooting practices, and effective system use.
- Lead cross-functional efforts with engineering, operations, and quality teams to deploy scalable, sustainable probing and metrology solutions in a production environment.
- Identify and prioritize opportunities to improve manufacturing capability, setup efficiency, process robustness, and inspection effectiveness through advanced probing applications and standardized metrology practices.
